Why Monica Olsson chose Marbella area

My wife is from Argentina so it is nice to have a holiday home in Spanish-speaking country. Also the superb Costa del Sol sunshine makes Marbella our ideal spot for holiday including in winter.

What makes this apartment unique

The exceptional level of care of the tropical gardens and swimming pools and the sensation that you are isolated from the rest in your own little paradise. Also going for a walk in the gardens at night (superb illumination layout) or a swim in one of the 3 pools and also the quality of finishing of the apartment with its secluded terrace is what made us fall in love with the place.

Another point is technological with WIFI fast broadband Internet in all rooms of apartment as well as Apple TV and access to Netflix & HBO with 1000s of free movies/TV series and TV sets in all rooms.

Nice apartment surrounded by beautiful well kept gardens

Nice spacious apartment surrounded by the most beautiful surroundings. Set in a peaceful location, and yet closeby to Marbella, Benahavis and Estepona. There are plenty of restaurants nearby (within 10mins walk). Owner very helpful and always quick to answer any queries or offer assistance. Highly recommended.

Owner's Response: Hi Petra,
Thank you for your kind comment and happy you had a great time. Regarding Netflix it is fully operational (as is HBO!) and you probably forgot to use the VPN system (instructions on small table). Any doubt or problem, guests should not doubt in getting in touch with me and I will happily attend to it. A call, an sms or email or Whatsapp, I am connected all the time and ready to help!

Luxury appartment. Location not so convenient.

The apartment is well equipped and has a wonderful terrace with a very nice view over the impressive gardens and swimming pools. The owner helped to make our stay as comfortable as possible. (Thank you David!) The only inconvenience was the location. A car is necessary to get to the beach and most of the restaurants, bars and shops are on the other side of the highway.

Owner's Response: Thanks Marian and glad that you enjoyed your stay and the terrace!
Regarding the beach proximity (by the Marriott hotel), indeed it is approximately 1km so better by car I agree. Anyway I personally prefer the beaches of San Pedro/Puerto Banus which are a 5-minute drive away. However do remember that there is a bus service taking you along all the coast if you wish to explore more of the area.
The little commercial centre where you have a few restaurants/cafes, a small supermarket and a few shops (Commercial Diana next to Diana Park Hotel) is 400-500 yards away (in Google map you can type El Campanario Estepona) so even though a car is nicer (I include myself), it is not an overwhelming distance to walk. By the way, the restaurant/bar in El Campanario is very nice (and rather good value) and they organise musical evenings, etc.
So I agree with you, a car is better as you can really choose where to go and explore more of the area. Apartment is not advertised as a beachfront complex or in the middle of the pub/bar scene but as an oasis of tranquility, so I hope you could really unwind during your stay.
Thanks again.
David

The Franklin's Easter Break 2013

We had a lovely time staying at this apartment, our holiday was during the school Easter break 2013. David provided excellent email communication prior to our stay and sent directions and valuable information to make the most out of our stay. The apartment itself was fabulous, clean , spacious and well furnished. We have 3 youngish children (11 and under) and we fitted in fine, as there was plenty of space. It was a bonus that we had great weather, so our children really enjoyed the pool and surrounding spectacular gardens, which we had mainly to ourselves! A car is required to make the most of the surrounding area and shops. We found San Pedro beach perfect and walked the coastal path from San Pedro to Puerto Banus which is gorgeous! A meal on Puerto Banus Marina is recommended, even if a little pricey. Marbella is also well worth a trip as the old town in particular is beautiful. Use the local larger supermarkets as they are much better value for money and sell lovely produce. If you should get a rainy day, 'La Canada' a mega shopping centre is a must (just outside Marbella)...fantastic shops! A great time had by all and would recommend this apartment to everyone.........listen out for the frog chorus as i am sure they were singing to us every night! NB - everything is comparable and for the price we paid at Easter this apartment is truely value for money. Thank you David

El Campanario award-winning development is situated between Marbella and Estepona only 5 minutes drive from Puerto Banus Marina and at the heart of the best golf courses in Costa del Sol (next to Atalaya golf course). Only 400 yards from the apartment is a shopping area (Comercial Diana) with several restaurants, bars, supermarket (Cayetano), vet and pet grooming, a bakery, a butcher's, a hairdresser salon and more. El Presidente beach is the nearest (less than a mile from apartment) across main road. It has restaurants and bars for al fresco eating with your feet in the sand with also the Marriott hotel facilities.

Personally we prefer the beaches in nearby San Pedro and Puerto Banus only a 5 minute drive from development. We usually go to the Mistral beach bar in Puerto Banus (Guadalmin exit) where there is a nice ambience. Take the exit at Repsol petrol station (after the San Pedro tunnel towards Marbella).

Also beautiful beaches in Estepona (10 minutes drive) or to the East of Marbella with Rosario beach where actor Antonio Banderas has a house or Cabopino beach with its dunes and fine sand (nudist beach on western side for those who would rather swim au naturel).

San Pedro has a brand new seafront with many restaurants and bars to enjoy (minutes drive from our apartment). Also a sea promenade from Guadalmina going along the beaches all the way to Puerto Banus Marina. A nice idea for a walk in the morning or at sunset.

Both bathrooms are extensive & come with plenty of towels (based on 4 people staying) as well as underfloor heating if needed. Both bathrooms have marble floors and come with bath tub, shower and WC. Bathroom 1 also has a bidet.
